Discover two unique museums, just a few minutes from CaFelicita, offering two completely different yet deeply connected perspectives on Lake Como.<\/p>\n

Lake Como Museum of Boats \u2013 Pianello del Lario<\/h2>\n

One of Europe’s most important nautical museums. Explore more than 400 historic boats, including racing powerboats, gondolas, fishing boats, and many unique exhibits that tell over two thousand years of navigation on Lake Como.<\/p>\n

Perfect for:<\/strong> families, boating enthusiasts, design lovers, and anyone interested in local traditions.<\/p>\n

Museum of the End of the War \u2013 Dongo<\/h2>\n

Just a few kilometres away, this museum is dedicated to the events of 27 April 1945, when Benito Mussolini was captured along the shores of the lake. Documents, photographs, personal testimonies and archive footage help visitors understand one of the most significant moments in modern Italian history.<\/p>\n

Perfect for:<\/strong> those interested in history and anyone wishing to better understand the role of Lake Como during the final days of the Second World War.<\/p>\n

Our Recommendation<\/h2>\n

Set aside half a day for this experience.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Visit the Lake Como Museum of Boats (approximately 1\u00bd\u20132 hours)<\/li>\n
  • Enjoy lunch at one of the lakeside restaurants<\/li>\n
  • In the afternoon, visit the Museum of the End of the War (approximately 1 hour)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Just ten minutes apart by car, these two museums together reveal how Lake Como is not only one of Italy’s most beautiful destinations, but also a place with an extraordinary historical and cultural heritage.<\/p>\n\"\"\n","protected":false},"featured_media":279,"parent":6205,"menu_order":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-6290","esperienze","type-esperienze","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nLake Como and History -
